Good morning, question, I'm going to use a type IV engine. I have modded a type one matting surface for a extra sump to be added on.

Because of the extra depth, I now fear road damage to the engine. You mentioned raising the engine two inches. If I can do this, it would reduce the depth concern. Question, how difficult do you think this is going to be ? I do have mechanical skills, but not body.

One member shared with me, that I will need to raise, the trans, shift tube also. I have seen above tunnel shifters. Your input please

Alex, We are of topic, so briefly, with dry sump, a sump extension is alien, just added weight and complexity, it misses the point of d/s completely.
I run a raised trans for racing anyway, I do it by inclination for many reasons, briefly, it's better than a 'level' raise for my underbody Venturi effect, but it's a big subject on its own, regards BBB.

Ok, since I've broken some rule by going off topic, I formally apologize. I'm sorry about that.
